Grover Cleveland was elevated to the
presidency because he had demonstra-
ted to the country that he had the cour-
age of his convictions, and that those
convictions were in the line of public
welfare. The people of the country felt
that with him, policy or self interest
would have no weight against public
interest: and their confidence has not
been misplaced. In vetoing the de
pendent pension bill he did Il manly
brave and heroic act. His veto mes
sage, which accompanied the bill re-
turned to congress without his sigma
ture. is lengthy, clear and comprehen-
sive, and points out the injustice of
the legislation sought, as well as many
defects in the framing of the bill
While every patriotic citizen wishes
the government to do even more than
justice by the defenders of the Union,
il seems to The Democrat that the
calm Judgment of the American peo-
Pile will be against the enactment of
any such sweeping and reckless bill rs
the one just vetoed by the President
\ liberal extract from the veto mes
sage is published on our first page, and
deserves careful perusal by our read
ers. Soldiers who may differ from the
President in his conclusions, can but

WORKERS FROM WISCONSIN.

The editor of The United States
Mail, who was recently at Wash
ington upon important business con
nected with postal system writes as
follows of II visit to the Post-oilice de
partment:
We knew it closed at 1: 90 p. m,
but we We're in hopes of finding the
Postmaster General there anyhow, for
we had been told that he did more
work and gave the service more hours
than any man in it, and we were not
disappointed. Every clerk and EN-
ploye had gone, and the great marble
building was empty with the exception
of the watchmen, the ianitors, General
Bryant and the Postmaster General.
We sent up our card to General Bryant
and was admitted and sat in the office
until Mr. Villas entered it at six, ready
to 60 home. We made known to him
the object of our late visit and he
kindly gave us some of the informa-
ton we were after"

and uncared for by any one save her

The New York Star thus briefly and
truly states the results of the senseless
policy of high taxation which goes by
the name of protection:
It has built up the cotton fields and
the wheat fields of India.
1t has driven our pork and butter
out Of Europe.
1t is persuading France to exclude
our corn and wheat and other agricul-
tural products.
1t Is persuading us to spend millions
upon ornaments, and to follow the
other nations of the earth in the policy
of jealousy, hatred and war.
In return for all these evils what
has it given us? A few sickly manu-
features which cannot stand alone,
and million working people on the
strike.
Verify this is the protection that the
wolf gave to the lamb

Gov. Rusk, of Wisconsin, is often
mentioned in connection with the re-
publican nomination for president in
in 1888. We notice that brother ]. G..
Monahan, of The Darlington Republi-
can, is among the Rusk boomers. The
Republican is a good newspaper, even
if it is on the wrong side of the fence
politically; and we are pleased to note
that it has determined not to waste
any more love upon the Maine states
man. After all Gov. Rusk might be
given the empty honor of leading the
forlorn hope against Cleveland in 1888.

The amount of the post Office ap-
preparation bill which recently passed
the House is So, 9.650l5, exactly
the sum recommended by the Post
master General. The committee which
reported the bill supplemented their
report as follows:
This is So unusual that the COM
mittee deem II proper to say that this
conclusion was reached after 4 most
careful review of the reasons submit
ted by the department for each item
in the estimates. An examination of
them in detail by the House, it is be-
heved, will satisfy every member that
care was observed to ask no more than
was actually needed. This has not
been the practice heretofore in sub
hitting estimates. The idea appears
to have obtained that the practice of
Congress was to reduce the sums
called for whether accurate or excess
i've. and that il was necessary to make
over estimates, that in the reduction
under that practice some approach to
the public necessities might be reach
ed Your committee, finding the ut
most frankness on the part of the
postmaster-General in discussing what
was needed for the postal service, have
met him in like spirit, and have re-
commended what seem to be actually
needed

.This is vote of confidence in the
Postmaster General as marked and
conspicuous as it is unusual. 1t is
compliment that was never before paid
to a Postmaster General, and Col.
Villas may Justly feel proud of it

Where was Pete now. Doubtless mauv
miles on his way with his heavy pack
trudging along the road. Pete had
promised to bcfriend her would he do

Most of all, she thought of Warren.
Would he sheer ut his avowed love for
her when he heard of her disgrace.
Somehow the bitterest pang she felt
was that Warren would hear of her
fall. The future was dark-black. She
knew whittier Mr.. Arnold had gone.
He would return in three or four hours
with the sheriff and warrant for her
self.
Little Amos slept ON, his last sleep
in his sisters arms. Helen could not
disturb him. and when his hacking
cough seemed likely to arouse him. she
gently rocked him in her arms, Poor
little fellow, sleep while you can. sleep
while You cau," she said, sadly. At
last. after a time that seemed short To
Helen, she heard the rockaway of Mr..
Arnold drive up 10 the front gate, and,
looking out ut the window, SAW that
gentleman and large. dark-whiskered
man get ont. The dar&-whiSkered man
was the sheriff, Mr.. Joe Belcher.
Come right in, said Mr.. Arnold,
who seemed 10 have disagrceable
matter in hand. which he wished to dis
pose of at once.
Little Amos stirred uneasily, rs
though he was receiving warning in
his sleep of what WAS to come. Helen
awoke him gently.
Wake up, httle brother, they have
come"
"Who ?" asked the feverish boy; Il
don't want nobody to come"
But the heavy tread of feet in the
hall awed the little fellow to silence
again. The key was turned. the door
opened and Mr.. Arnold conducted the
sheriff into the kitchen and, pointing to
Helen, said:
There's the thief"
The sheriff then drew chair up to
her side and, drawing legal looking
document from the breast pocket of his
coat, began to read:

NEATNESS IN DRESS.

The Importance Of Neat Housed Dressing

The matron who appears before the
members of her family in a shabby
soiled wrapper and makes the excuse
il, indeed, she takes the trouble TO make
one at all-that lit is so much more
comfortable, has little idea Of the pos
sible consequences Of such course
Could she but realize that her dress is
an evil example TO her daughters, and
one productive Of consequences that
will reach far beyond her own span Of
life; that her husband and sons can not
fail TO draw comparisons between her
dress and that Of the ladies they meet
in other homes, and that these compar-
isons can not fail to decrease their re-
spect for her, she might be induced To
give more attention to her personal APP
pearance. Not even the burden Of care
and constant employment can furnish
a sufficient excuse for careless personal
habits. for few things are more impor-
tant to the weIl-being OF family.
There is an old saying to the effect that
an untidy mother has disobedient chill
dren; and while neither parents nor
children may realize the why or where
fore Of it, yet there is always a lack Of
respect and an Indifference to the au-
thority of mother who takes no pride
in her personal appearance. And it is
not the mother alone upon whose Shout
ders rests the burden Of responsibility
for home neatness and order in dress;
the father has his duties to look after
As well, and should never fail to insist

lily presenting themselves with we'll

CHAPTER IX.-CONTINCED.

Arnold, mysteriously, her naturally
large, white eyes expanding to an unus-
ual size; 1T was gold and worth

head approvingly.

front door of the house, swapping his
whip at some vines.

yexation. Now I'm going to the
kitchen and look in that girls carpet
bag"
''Oh, no. said the mother, a faint
smile on her face. 1T will make
Helen mad"
Il don't care, am goin' to have my
bracelet, and, her mother close after
her, she bolted in the kitchen. "Hel-
en-" she said, I'm goin' to look
among your things"
What forp" the astonished girl
asked =
my gold bracelet, worth twenty
dollars, is gone"
"Wcll, Miss Arnold, have not got
it, cried Helen, her eyes flashing.
81 will see for myself" and she
seized the old carpet bag which sat
where Helen had placed it that morn
ing. Tearing it open, she pulled out
the clothing of Helen and her brother,
much to the indignation of the, "hired
girl" Hallie's mother stood in the
doorway entreating her daughter to
desist.

small bundle of handkerchiefs which
unrolled, and something bright and
heavy fell upon the floor. NsOds gold
bracelet Halle seized it in triumph,
but Helen was dumb with astonish-
ment. A cry from mother and daugh-
ter brought Mr.. Arnold to the kitchen.
''She-she is the thief" cried Halle,
holding up the bracelet and pointing
to Helen.
A mist came before Helen's eyes, her
head swan and she sank insensible to
the floor.

CHAPTER Nj.

lhh
Helen sat like one Stupcfed while tho
warrant was read. The voice of the
sheriff quivered, for his honest heart
told him the girl was not guilty, and
then, when he looked at the wretched
child on her lap and from the faces
of each read their suffering, he men
tally exclaimed:
Il swear the girl cant be blamed if
she did steal il.
Little Amos looked inquirisgly into
his sisters pale, stone-like face at the
conclusion of the reading of the war
rant, as if to ask what il all meant.
Helen was silcnt-stunned- although
she had been all morning preparing for
the blow. The sheriff carefully folded
the document and thrust it into his side
pocket. and sat in silence, rs though
he hardly knew what to do next.
Helen at last turned her awfully white
face upon him. He shrank like guilty
person before that stony gaze. Next
she turned her face upon Judge Arnold,
who stood in the doorway. Arnold
struggled with all the power he pos
sessed to meet her stare. but was COM
PEELED to cover before the gaze of in.
jured innocence. AT length her lips
moved, and her voice was so hollow as
to startle Arnold.
"Do you believe that l am guilty Of
that charger she asked.
Arnold was for a moment confused.
He was afraid to risk his voice to say
he did, lest his tongue might fail to
speak, and yet he dare not say he be-
lieved her innocent. He had sworn
out the warrant and must believe what
it stated.
II have NO conversation for you,"
he said, elevating his chin in the air,
"you are now in the shcriif's hands,
and your case is beyond my control"
'Oh, God, that had only kept beyond
your CONTROL ~ cried Helen, breaking
down at last and sobbing violently.
ITO be robbed by you of our home, and
every thing that would have made
myself and this poor afflicted child
comfortable, and then because | asked
shelter for one night under your roof,
to have yourself or your family seek my
ruin in this way-oh, God, help me !
ere get beyond the power of forgiv-
ing" With last wall, Helen threw
herself forward and bowed her head
upon table near by.
Don't cry, sister, don't" sobbed the
little cripple, while the tears rolled
down his cheeks, "they shan't hurt
you. God won't let 'em hurt you"
The sheriff, frown on his brow, for
this was perplexing case, arose and
began walking the kitchen floor. He
was troubled, but, like brave official,
resolved to do his duty. Mr. Arnold
stood patiently at the door. He had
just caught sight of his wife, who stood
at the door of the dining room. She
was, perhaps, the most hard-hearted
of any, and yet weak and unable to
hear with calmness any great display
of feeling, Mrs. Arnold's face was
high in the air, but greatly agitated.
Mr.. Arnold was impatient to have
this scene" as he called it, over with.
IL say, Belcher," he said, "why don't
you take her on and stop that bawling;
I swear l don't want such an uproar in
my house. "
